One of the easiest egg recipes on the internet that just needs you to boil eggs until their yolks are well-done, this trending spicy egg ceviche uses the same principle behind how ceviche is made. Instead of raw seafood marinated in an acidic dressing, which is the star ingredient in most ceviche recipes, this one uses hard-boiled eggs. So every bite of your egg carries flavour, plus a good dose of protein and the lip-smacking spiciness of the dressing.
Getting the eggs right is also important for this dish, and to get hard-boiled eggs, you must boil them for 10-12 minutes, with the heat high enough that the eggs don’t bounce too much and crack, spilling their guts into the water. You can choose to go for soft-boiled eggs too; reduce the boiling time for that to 6-8 minutes for a slight difference in taste. Moving the eggs into an ice bath immediately after boiling is important to stop the cooking process and also makes the shells easier to peel.
The eggs are sliced in half and tossed in a tangy dressing made with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a generous spoon of chilli garlic crisp (the solid bits of chilli oil), with thin slices of red onion for texture. So, try this no-cook, one of the simpler egg recipes you can fix for a quick snack or a light meal. The flavour is what you must get right for this ceviche recipe to turn out mouthwatering. Whisk maple syrup, rice vinegar, oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce before adding the chilli garlic crisp, so the flavours bring out the best in each other and don't taste like separate ingredients.
